Review Direction sense before starting →Ideas to recall
- Fix north at the top before tracing movement.
- A right or left turn depends on the current facing direction.
- Coordinates help combine horizontal and vertical displacement.
- Distance travelled and straight-line displacement are different.
Use these ideas to reason through each question; answer-specific explanations appear only after you check a response.
